Exiting Procedures and Forms

The Office of Graduate Student Services and the Graduate Council ask that you read this material thoroughly.  If you have any questions, please call Barbara W. Schukoske at extension 2224.  It is extremely important that you are clear about what is expected of you as you finalize the requirements for your degree, if it is being awarded at Commencement on Sunday,  May 25, 2008.  All Department keys or keys to Residential Life should be turned in at time of departure from the University.

The links below are complete exit packets for Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy.  Ph.D. Candidates should also print out the Survey of Earned Doctorate form, complete it and have it ready for exiting along with the Microfilming agreement (available from the Office of Graduate Student Services).

Reminder:

Each candidate is expected to deposit TWO copies of the Thesis with the Office of Graduate Student Services BEFORE exiting.  Both copies are to be printed on Minimal 20-lb. Weight, 25% cotton fiber bond paper.  Any other copies are considered "personal" copies and are handled separately in this office.  For M.A. candidates, these two copies are due in the Graduate Office within 48 hours after the Oral Exam/Approval. 

Composition of Examination Committee:

Each examination committee is to be designated by the department chairperson with the graduate student's research advisor.  The second reader should be a member of the department and chair the examination and thesis committee.  The third reader will usually be a department faculty member, but need not be.  The thesis must be acceptable and approved before an oral examination is granted to the student.
